Also when doing the library check I get the following opal error if
the speex libs aren't installed (should it not be checking for
speex?).
checking for PTLIB... yes
checking for OPAL... configure: error: Package requirements (opal >=
3.4.2) were not met:
Package speexdsp was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `speexdsp.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'speexdsp', required by 'opal', not found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables OPAL_CFLAGS
and OPAL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
What happens is that opal asks, through its pkg-config file, that
libspeex-dev be installed when another package depending on opal, such
as ekiga, is configured. This is an error (not -dev, but the library is
needed), but I do not know how to solve it for the moment.
Are we sure it is an error ?
I would have supposed it was a feature of pkgconfig. Anyway, what is
sure is that it is not ekiga's job to request speexdsp, so if anything
has to be fixed, it is in opal.pc.
And what I don't understand is that I do not get this error, however,
speexdsp.pc is not on my system !?
